NY Shoe of the Day: Ralph Lauren

For his fall ’14 collection, Ralph Lauren pushed reset on his Southwestern and sportsman signatures. While heeled hikers and suede over-the-knee looks had their charms, nothing was more in-tune with the zeitgeist (and perhaps a more youthful clientele) than his cream leather sneakers. By pairing the all-American court kicks with a trifle of knitwear, louche tailoring and a flurry of fur, the message was clear: For this designer, leisure and luxury will always be synonymous.
